A python 2.7 Google App Engine (GAE) script to create images (AMIs) from all of your Amazon EC2 instances.

Copy settings.example.py to settings.py and fill:

• Your AWS account key (AWS['key'])
• Your AWS account secret (AWS['secret'])
• Your GAE's administrator email (LOGGER['sender'])
• Your email to receive logs (LOGGER['to'])

Obs: lacks a configuration wizard.

Since cloudsnap is already taken (by me) you will need to replace the application name with something else. Remember to signup for an GAE Account and verify the availability of the application name.

The cron.yaml is configured according to my needs. Feel free to change the scheduling and timezone according to yours.

Download GAE python SDK and follow application upload instructions.

To set up the project on your development environment, follow these steps:

• Download the APP Engine SDK

• Move the SDK folder to /usr/local/google_appengine (the google_appengine folder may be anywhere. If you place it elsewhere take a look at Makefile and replace the path to run the unit tests)

• Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

  sudo pip install virtualenv
  sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

• Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/renanivo/cloudsnap.git

• Create a new virtualenv on the project folder:

  virtualenv --no-site-packages cloudsnap

• Go to the project folder and execute:

  add2virtualenv cloudsnap
  make setup
